That article is the opinion of a British policeman and was the opinion of some local governments.
In reality the Muslim community deplored the decision and in fact said they had no problem whatsoever with the George Cross and respected the national flag of the country they live in.
They also made it known to those local governments that banning the George Cross on their behalf, despite them not being consulted on the matter, would in fact do more harm than good and only add ammunition to those who would take every opportunity to drive a wedge between their communities and others.
It was nothing more than political correctness gone mad.
